The Jades, China (Les Jades, Chine)

"The Jades, China" (Les Jades, Chine), a 1940 color woodblock print by Paul Jacoulet, depicts a woman in half-length view wearing a black robe with pink diamond-patterned trim and a flat black headdress. She holds a jade hairpin or ornament up before her face, examining it, with jade jewelry visible at her collar and wrist; her hair is pulled back beneath a beaded, gold-and-turquoise coronet. The background is coral-red patterned with darker red cloud and dragon motifs, framed by a plain cream-colored border.
